Just got back from early Black Friday shopping and - seeing as no one understands me better than ME - got some stuff for me after everyone else was taken care of... found some stuff I wanted for awhile at much-reduced rates, including some Blu-Rays! (yes, I now have a Blu-Ray player, so I splurged)

A combo of Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid / The Good The Bad And The Ugly / The Magnificent Seven

The Poseidon Adventure

The Expendables

Fight Club

Combo-pack for Prometheus

And then got some good cheap DVDs:

The Adventures Of Tintin

Battle: Los Angeles

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes

Gone With The Wind (2-disc set)

Merry Christmas to me.

This is pretty great, if you like cheap, sleazy (no nudity) crime flicks from the late 50's and early 60's. I'll admit my expectations were low, but I enjoyed all six films.

This was advertised as a bare bones release, but mine has an audio commentary, an interview with a dubbing actor, trailers and TV spots.

Really intrigued by that Something Weird set, and I need to get a copy of Godzilla Vs. Megalon! Does yours have extras? From what I understand the copies with extra features were pulled from circulation at the demand of Toho but Media Blasters got to release a bare bones version. Some of the loaded discs still made it to retailers, though.

I told myself I wasn't gonna buy much more but I guess I can skip eating for the month. Did some Black Friday shopping and have gotten some other good deals, so, yeah.

Blu-ray:Breaking Bad seasons 2 & 3The CrowSalt - Thinking of returning this. I wasn't too interested but my brother insisted that it's good. Anyone seen it?The LookoutBlazing SaddlesThe Goonies/Gremlins/Gremlins 2 setUniversal Monsters blu-ray set - Ordered this from Amazon UK for about $42 shipped! This set is over a hundred bucks in the US for no good reason, but the UK release, which is region free and identical save for packaging and one commentary track on one of the films, retails for the equivalent of $50-60.

If you like cheap and sleazy crime flicks from that era you'll probably dig THE WEIRD NOIR, and yes I got the special edition of MEGALON. I bought it from Amazon, but it would be hit or miss as to what you would end up getting. It's just luck of the draw.

"The basic plot is that Donna Speir and Hope Marie Carlton, the two undercover DEA agent Playboy Playmates from the last movie, are still running around in jungle shorts, cowboy boots and spaghetti strap T-shirts, firing their machine guns at drug smugglers, Filipino communist guerrillas, and corrupt federal agents while their two friends, Lisa London and Miss May 1984 Patty Duffek, lounge around the pool a lot and talk on speaker phones that look like fax machines."-Joe Bob on SAVAGE BEACH

Yeah, you definitely lucked out; I got the same copy at FYE today and it was just bare bones. I still wanted a new copy of it, and was exceedingly happy with what I got, but those extras would have been sweet.

All the same, you got one great find, there. Good on ya!
